Simon Cheng, a former staff member of the British Consulate General in Hong Kong, recently accepted a media interview and said he was beaten during his detention in Shenzhen. British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab summoned Liu Xiaoming, the Chinese ambassador to Britain, to protest on November 20. Liu Xiaoming responded that Zheng Wenjie confessed to the illegal facts and that all legal rights and interests were guaranteed according to law.

Liu Xiaoming said that in August 2019, Zheng Wenjie was punished by the Shenzhen police for administrative detention for fifteen days for violating the Law of the People's Republic of China on Public Security Administration Punishment. Zheng Wenjie confessed to the illegal facts, and all legal rights and interests were guaranteed according to law.

At the same time, Liu Xiaoming expressed his strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to the British government's recent repeated statements on the Hong Kong issue. He pointed out that the current state of affairs in Hong Kong is by no means the so-called "democratic freedom" advertised by some Western politicians and Western media. Instead, the extremely violent criminals have seriously trampled on the rule of law and social order in Hong Kong, seriously undermining Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, and seriously challenging "one country, two systems". The bottom line of the principle is the naked and extremely violent criminal activity.

Liu Xiaoming asked the British side to recognize the situation, immediately stop any words and deeds that condone extreme violent criminal activities, and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and China's internal affairs in any way.

Zheng Wenjie said that he was summoned by the British Foreign Minister during the detention in the Mainland to see the Chinese Ambassador to the UK.

Simon Cheng, a former staff member of the British Consulate, said that he was seeking asylum when he was resigned from Guoan.
